Software development and daily life in Seattle

T minus 9 days…

The start of WWDC is nine days away… Some folks say it starts on Monday morning with the keynotes that have, without a doubt, become a marketing splash message time for Apple, but the reality is that it’ll be kicking up on Sunday evening with the inevitable dinner chats and the first of many social nights.

I excited, but also a bit frenetic, for this one. I’ve been working on my iPhone application and now that time is coming closer, I really want to have my application nailed down enough to take advantage of the labs available. I’ll have a copy of everything (including the application) with me, although it won’t do much good in that area since it’s made to be so geographically specific to Seattle.

I did a presentation for the Xcoders group a week or so back laying out the story of getting it developed. I’ll be making parts of that available as a blog post later. It’s a pretty good tale – working through the SDK’s and vagaries of systems failures that you’ve just got to expect with a hybrid application.
